THE SCRIPT
The Script was oh so heartfelt
Was written in fountain pen
The paper was quite faded
But all Beautiful to behold
The Content was Important
Presentation just delicate
To See
How the writer of the letter
Had cared for every Line
In fact it Looked just Fine
Was somehow scented she
New not how
A message of Rememberance
To his Sweetheart
He had left Behind
Back in Hampstead
In a village near the Green
They'd Often walked Together
To the Heath they would Climb
When weather was conducive
An Open Lake would Find
Quite a Few Young Men
Would Dive into the water
To Show off their Prowess
To Many a Lady There
The Ladies were Quite Proper
Gloved Hands In Sweet Repose
Under Sunshades they sheltered
Take a Prim Look or Two
So James was writing a Script
So very very Special to his
Sweet Rebecca hoping she'd
Nere Forget that he was very
Serious about his Feelings Too
But he was far away doing his
Duty too
For King and Country
So in Time she might forget
About his sweet Remembrance
Of The Village On The Green
In the Sharp Chill of Winter
Up Rossalyn Hill They'd Climb
To Kenwood House They'd Enter
When weather Not Sublime
Sometimes a Harpist would be
Playing in Chords so Divine
So James Hoped His Letter
Would Find IT'S Trusted Way
To a Lonesome Rebecca
Who Longed would nere Forget
How They Laughed and Walked
Together
Often On A Village Near A Green
In A Script So Carefully Chosen
Her Lock of Hair he Carried
Wanted So Much To Make
His Queen.
